This week marks the end of the period for public comment on the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative (RGGI) for the PA Department of Environmental Protection.
PA IPL members, faith leaders, and advocates of climate justice from across the state have already taken a stance and testified, written in our local papers, and signed petitions. If you would like to speak up for the CO2 Budget Trading Program there is still time. You have until Thursday, January 14th to submit your public comment. You can find more information about RGGI at this Environmental Defense Fund website post.
You can also sign PennEnvironment’s petition here.
If you are a PA elected official, know someone who is, or you are just motivated to contact one, please consider submitting the RGGI petition for elected officials organized by the Clean Power PA Coalition. This petition needs to be signed TODAY so it can be submitted Thursday, January 14th. Please act now!
